Alan\’s Blog

I thought I would start one of these blogs since I spend so much time reading them.  Right now I am at 52 hours and I am waiting to take my Checkride for my Private Pilot Certificate.  Once this is done my plan is to get to 85hrs with 25 x-country PIC time to attend ATP at the beginning of January.  Right now I am a retail store manager and enjoy the work sometimes, but don’t nearly have the love for it that I do for flying.  To think that someone would pay you to fly is beyond me.  I hope to instruct at ATP or anywhere else that will get me extensive Multi time when I am done with the ACPP at ATP and work my way to the regionals. I think after looking at all my options this is the better way for me, because of the immersion training methods that allow me to focus soley on flying.  I have always been good at learning , but I am definately better when learning under pressure.  I will probably go back through my log book and post some about my Private Pilot experiences while I can still remember them all, but for now thats it.
